The Lego Smart brick caused quite the controversy after being announced at CES last month. Personally, I think it's pretty cool and harmless, but others felt that it defeated the entire point of Lego, which is to be disconnected from technology. We've summarised all of the Lego Smart Brick backlash if you need to catch up.
My biggest concern was that the Smart Brick could cause the price of sets to skyrocket, so I'm pleasantly surprised to see that most of the upcoming Lego Star Wars Smart Play sets are, in fact, very reasonably priced - starting from as little as $39.99 / £35 for Luke's Landspeeder Construction set. You can preorder all of the upcoming Star Wars sets online right now, and they will also be available to purchase from select retailers beginning March 1st.
It's worth noting that some of the sets below DO NOT include a Lego Smart Brick (sold separately), but are compatible with them for interactive possibilities. They do, however, include 1 Smart Minifigure and 1 Smart Tag. To get a Smart Brick included, you need to opt for the all-in-one sets.
